Cimarron Trapdoor Carbine | .45-70 | 22″ Barrel

The Cimarron Trapdoor Carbine in .45-70 Government is a reproduction falling-block carbine built with period-correct materials and finishes. It pairs traditional lines—a case-hardened frame, blued round barrel and oiled walnut stock—with a straight-forward single-shot platform suited to deliberate shooting. For a mounted or scoped application, the Vortex Viper HS-T (a rugged riflescope typically priced well under $1,000) is a suitable optic that complements the rifle’s balance and intended ranges. Typical uses include big-game hunting with appropriate ammunition and historical shooting or reenactment matches.
